GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 158980
Logo script browser
Last modified: 2018-05-24 11:16:54 UTC
Instead of registering the Logo scripts in the Toolbox menus, there could be a single menu entry "Logo Browser" that offers a scrollable list of all logo scripts, together with a preview and some descriptive text. This would be very similar to the GNOME 2.8 panel applet chooser (see http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/figures/figure-add-to-panel.png). This could be implemented entirely in Script-Fu or we could add such a dialog to GIMP and allow scripts to register to this dialog using a special menu identifier, such as <Logos>. It remains to be seen how the previews would best be handled. We could for example render them when the browser is first started and store the result as a thumbnail using libgimpthumb. I am adding this to the Script-Fu component but I think it would be best if this Logo browser was language neutral.
Maybe it would be possible to add a generic preview to the Procedure browser, not just previews for Logos? http://www.nansons-place.com/nontut/8doodles/speck/background-p2.htm Having used the Paint Shop Pro Effects Browser (see above link) I've been playing around with a version of the (Python) PDB Browser to try and allow me to run a script or plugin on the current image. It makes sense to me that when you have found a plugin or procedure that you then want to use it. Progress is slow but I've been able to get plugins to open by feeding in the current image Null values and running then as interactive.
Might be feasible after we redesigned the PDB to provide default values and such but certainly not with the current architecture.
